    Never thought I'd go for Netflix...

    ...but after losing all video rental stores in the area I decided to give it a try. Now I'm working that free month trial like a borrowed mule and found some titles I didn't expect to line up in the queue. W. C. Fields and Me (with Rod Steiger in the title role), 1911, Atlas Shrugged, Triumph...

    The Brink's Job

    From 1978 with incredible attention to period detail and the production design is top-notch. At last, it's being shown again and I'm watching right now. Encore Suspense and Movieplex Channels will broadcast it a few more times until November 18. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself.

    http://www.feit.com/vintage_bulb/vintage.html Found these today at Lowe's for $8.98 each and noticed some of the remodeled Outback Steakhouses are using them in their new light fixtures. I've seen some like them online at web businesses that specialize in vintage light fixtures for $13 and up.

    Is anyone else catching American Pickers?

    Mondays at 9:00 PM on the History Channel. These two guys dig through old barns, buildings, and junk piles for vintage treasures. Gee, I guess I've been an American Picker all my life but didn't have a name for it. Well...Pack Rat, maybe. We're the first to hit a development site to blast...

    Britain building new steam locomotives

    These are the first ones built in 50 years and will be put in service with all new safety features. They're full scale 4-6-2 steam engines, not toys. The media link on the web site will take you to several youtube videos. What a rush watching it pass, belching smoke, hissing steam, and having...

    genuine "The Good Wife" ad from 1942

    No urban legend, no myth, no hoax, no folklore, no snopes.com, and no old wives', I mean, tall tale. Undoctored as originally scanned without embellishment from Photoshop. This is a real ad appearing on page 36 of the March 27, 1942, issue of United States News. I've had this for a very long...

    Golden Era? In 1955, for who?

    The highlights are not mine! This is how the article was when I found it. So amusing it's hard to believe it's real. I haven't seen something this funny since William H. Macy walked through his house asking "Where's my dinner?" in Pleasantville. Poll time: okay, "gentlemen," how many of you...

    Remember these cash/receipt tubes in stores?

    http://www.ids.u-net.com/cash/index.htm Some used wire baskets or tubes on cables, then pneumatic tubes. And there was always the double chime sound of "doong, doong" and an announcement over the PA system. Seems there's a museum for everything.

    German mini-series Dresden

    Has anyone seen this? (and not to be confused with The Dresden Files) I saw it at Barnes and Noble the other day at the Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick, MD and am wondering if it's worth getting. Looks like a love story using the RAF bombing of Dresden as a background.

    Matt Damon to play Eliot Ness?

    David Fincher, who directed Benjamin Button, is working on something called Torso, about the post Al Capone days of Eliot Ness. Apparently it's been getting kicked around for three years and is based on a graphic novel about a true serial killer case in Cleveland from 1934-38. Fincher is...

    Anthony Hopkins to play Hitchcock

    Fascinating documentary on PBS

    Had a touch of insomnia the other night and decided to see what was on the picture radio. It was 3:00 AM and PBS was showing its last P.O.V. episode for the 2008 season. It was called Inheritance, about the daughter of Amon Goeth, brought to prominent notoriety in Schindler's List, and her...
